Umeå are welcoming Ljungskile for another important game after their 1-1 result against 10th-placed GAIS.
Umeå and Ljungskile should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Umeå's stadium, Umeå Energi Arena SOL, has a artifical turf surface. Ljungskile have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Ljungskile when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from ten matches. They have scored 11 goals in these games and conceded 17.
Ljungskile have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Umeå form and stats
Umeå have played three Superettan home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Umeå drew their last game, 1-1 away at GAIS (placed 10th). Ahead of that match, Umeå lost 0-1 at home to Halmstad.
The lack of attacking qualities in Umeå means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. From these home matches, Umeå have conceded only 2 goals.
Ljungskile form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Superettan for Ljungskile with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
There were no winners in Ljungskile's previous match, a Superettan home game that ended 2-2 vs Dalkurd (placed 11th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Västerås SK wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Drawing 2-2 against Dalkurd after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager J. Wålemark needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. The draw against Dalkurd came from a losing position. The Ljungskile manager J. Wålemark brought on A. Rosén as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
Ljungskile has another fixture away, a Superettan game, against GAIS in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The visiting Ljungskile have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. For Ljungskile, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Umeå won zero, Ljungskile won four and zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
